"Chassis no.
HB3415 was originally purchased by
an A.S.G. Buckmaster in July 1929.
This superb Le Mans style four seat
tourer with its fabric painted coachwork,
Le Mans tank and instruments is an
excellent vintage touring car which
evokes all the style and charisma
associated with the Bentley Boys and
their racing triumphs of the twenties
and early thirties. Bentley Drivers
Club ownership and service records
exist on the car right up until the
outbreak of the Second World War and
later owners after Buckmaster included
Mr Roy Norton, Ken Meikle John and
David Bishop over the last 40 years.
In later years this vintage Bentley
was located in New Zealand where it
was initially owned by Dr Brian Goodman
prior to passing into the ownership
of noted Bentley specialist and official
Bentley Heritage Dealer, Bruce Mcilroy.
From Mcilroy's ownership, it was sold,
via P&A Woods to the last owner,
Mr Derek Anderson, a well known and
highly respected Scottish collector
whose cars consisted mainly of important
pre-war Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars.
Also accompanied with this important
W.O. Bentley is a fitted touring rack
and trunk, essential for any enthusiast
wishing to undertake the many UK and
European rallies this motorcar is
eligible for. Indeed the car was recently
used over the bank holiday on an extended
road trip from London taking in a
race event at Castle Coombe and performed
without hesitation or incident.
This superb W.O Bentley, with such
illustrious and well regarded ownership
and specialists attached to it, is
also offered with a UK V5C document
and various other sundry paperwork
including specific information from
Mcilroy, documentation confirming
the cars importation into New Zealand
in 2000 and return to the UK. The
car also has affixed the New Zealand
Land Transport Safety certification
plate as well as a rather charming
silver plaque on the bulkhead testifying
to the cars complete rebuild in April
1964 by A.S.Cooper of Birmingham.
Offered today in excellent order,
finished as one would expect in British
Racing Green with a black hood and
tonneau cover, this evocative motorcar
will evoke that fabulous era when
the cars that crossed the finishing
line at Le Sarthe all had Union Flags
on the side." |
